My FIL said maybe nature will find some solution on its own. I told him that all the forest fires, floods, blizzards, heat waves and wars are the solution nature has for exterminating the pests causing this issue.
Interesting that it's only the fifth hottest year for the US. I guess, they have a lot of land mass far away from the oceans, so El Niño can't heat them as directly...

I made a claim to replace a door on one of my vehicles and my insurance premium went up for an amount and time that, when I did the math, came out to the amount they paid out for the claim. WTF is the point of all this other money I've been paying you for years if you're just going to recoup your "loss" by temporarily raising my rates?
The whole point of insurance is that you're gambling and hoping to lose. It's fundamental to its nature that it be a scam. Insurance companies can only make money if their customers, on avergae, lose money to the nsurance company.
You said "vehicles", but assuming it's a car (I know nothing about boat or plane insurance), the company has you bent over a barrel: it's mandatory you have car insurance and every car insurance company knows it, so they can and do get away with abuses other insurance companies can't because at least other kinds of insurance are optional.
Reminds me of a Lemmy thread from a few months back where people were defending health insurance. Fools.
